Bringing together the traditional and the futuristic, Santuri facilitates collaborations between musicians, DJs and electronic music producers, with the purpose of supporting and nurturing a spirit of artistic adventurousness.

The Official Blurb

Santuri is a not-for-profit limited-by-guarantee company that operates throughout East Africa. The organisation is headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya. The mission of Santuri is to develop and support a vibrant and creative East African network that enables artists and musicians to experiment, innovate, collaborate, and present their work professionally to audiences both regionally and globally. Santuri creates spaces and platforms for learning and expression for musicians, DJs, curators, and audio engineers. Santuri works toward the vision of an authentic and globally-recognized East African sound created by empowered and connected East African artists.

Underground Network

Santuri is … a vibrant and creative East African underground network that allows artists and musicians the freedom to experiment and present their work professionally to audiences both regionally and globally.

Putting regional artists together with international reknowned DJ/Producers, in often makeshift, pop-up studios in unusual locations, has yielded numerous benefits – from rebooting expectations of what is possible with minimal equipment, to developing highly collaborative ways to build tracks, and integrating cutting-edge technology from our partners Ableton and Native Instruments in order to create DJ/club friendly tracks and grow capacity in the region.
